Often, a comment left on a task requires a private discussion or a quick sidebar with the commenter that shouldn't clutter the task's activity feed or be visible to all task watchers/those the task is shared with. Current Workaround: I have to manually copy the comment URL, navigate away from the task to the Chat view, find the person/group, and paste the link for reference. This breaks my workflow and takes several clicks. Proposed Feature: Add a "Send to Chat" or "Reply as DM" option directly in the comment's "..." ellipsis menu. Action: Clicking this would open a small pop-up to select a recipient (defaulting to the original commenter). Result: The comment is forwarded to a DM or Chat channel with a backlink to the original task, allowing for private collaboration without leaving the task view.

Please add the ability to forward messages from DMs and chat channels to other users, groups of users, and channels.

Hello ClickUp Team, First of all, congratulations on the new Chat feature. It was a very smart move. Bringing real-time communication inside ClickUp — essentially consolidating what tools like Slack already do — makes total sense from a product strategy standpoint. Centralizing work and communication in one ecosystem is the right direction. However, I would like to suggest a functional improvement that, in my opinion, could significantly increase adoption and user retention. Today, one of the main reasons our team continues using Slack instead of fully migrating to ClickUp Chat is availability and presence. Slack works extremely well because it operates as a standalone desktop and mobile communication tool — always open, always notifying, always accessible, independent of project management workflows. A powerful improvement would be: → Offering ClickUp Chat as a fully independent desktop and mobile application → With persistent notifications (even when ClickUp is not open in the browser) → And the ability to mention tasks in conversations, where clicking the mention takes the user directly to the task inside ClickUp This would create several benefits: Faster response time – Teams would stay connected even when not actively working inside ClickUp. Reduced friction – Users wouldn’t need to open the full workspace just to respond to a quick message. Higher engagement – A communication-first interface increases daily active usage. Better task-to-discussion connection – Seamless linking between chat and tasks would strengthen contextual collaboration. Higher platform consolidation – Many companies would fully replace Slack if Chat had the same “always-on” behavior. Currently, Chat feels powerful, but it still behaves as a feature inside ClickUp — not as a communication hub. Transforming it into a standalone companion app could dramatically increase adoption among teams that rely heavily on instant communication. Thank you for building such a strong platform. I truly believe this evolution would make ClickUp even more competitive in the collaboration space. Best regards, Lucas William

While working with our customers (guest users) we often get limited by the chat not allowing them to send audio messages or record their screen to send adjustment of something we are working on.

I would like to have the ability to pin posts that I have created to give an organized way for my employees to see posts that have been made and require their review.

When in a syncup, we want to be able to invite any other user/member from our space to join a call. Having to create a whole new group and a new call just to invite someone additional is tedious and breaks workflow.

Unread messages in Chat are typically indicated by a pink marker. Unread messages in Channels are typically indicated by a bolded channel name. This guarantees missed messages on channels. We need a pink marker on channels too.

As annoying as they are in personal life, I'd love to have them for work to help me understand if the person is continuing the chat or has walked away.
